For Joe Maddon‘s first place Chicago Cubs, this will be important. Chicago is on their way to clinching their first division title since the 2008 campaign. A year in which they were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers during the National League Division Series.
Best of luck to the team who gets scheduled to take on this club in the first round. After getting swept by the New York Mets last October, the Chicago Cubs are itching to get back to the National League Championship Series.
But before they prepare themselves for postseason play, they need to finish out the regular season.
